Welcome to Burma Children’s Fund
Runner’s Success
Congratulations from everyone at the Burma Children’s Fund to Rory Edwards who recently ran in the London marathon to raise funds to buy rice for the children who are starving in the West of Burma. The famine was caused by a plague of rats that destroyed all the crops.
Rory decided to run the marathon and support the children in memory of his Grandmother who was born in Burma. He set himself an ambitious goal of 4 hours for his first ever marathon and beat his target by finishing in a 3 hours 54 minutes.
We give our sincere thanks both to Rory, for his terrific effort, and to all his supporters - who donated over £1,000 to the Burma Children’s Fund. This money will help us to continue to provide food to the children whose needs are so urgent.
Will you support Lawrence Bettany by sponsoring him?
Now, Lawrence Bettany has signed up to run a half marathon to raise money for the same cause. He has just completed his degree course. To research for his dissertation he visited Burma and saw the issues for himself and now wants to do all he can to help the Burma Children’s Fund to aid the children in need. Details of his run, his motivation and how you can support him can be found at his ‘Just Giving’ Website page at http://www.justgiving.com/burma-orphans

Patron's Message - The Right Honourable The Viscount Slim
"The Burma Children's Fund has already proved itself in its total dedication to the education and health care of orphans and children in Burma (Myanmar). Our Charity has few overheads and is organised and run on a voluntary basis. I am proud to be the Patron."
"During my visits to Burma I have seen the desperate need for childcare and education. The Myanmar Government pays scant attention to the distress of its people and it is the children from the poorest families who suffer most.
The Burma Children’s Fund, by investing in the care and development of young children, wishes to ensure that they do not become the “Forgotten Generation” of Myanmar, but instead grow up equipped to play a full role in the future development of this beautiful country and its people.
As we grow we urgently ask for your help and would be most grateful if you felt able to support us."
What We Do
Children in Burma cannot control their own destiny and this is why our goal is "To Support their Future"
The Burma Children's Fund supports orphanages and pre-schools in various parts of Burma in order to provide shelter, health care and education for orphans and children
A Warm Welcome
Welcome to our new website for the Burma Children’s Fund. It has been generously donated by Rawnet who are also hosting it for us on a no cost basis. We would like to thank all the members of the team who have worked so hard creating it with us. Also our thanks to Htein Lin, the Burmese artist, who designed our logo.
Our website aims to explain how our charity began and why it exists. We want to give an idea of the background to Burma [Myanmar] as this helps to understand the problems.
Thank you for visiting our website and for any help/donations that may wish to give.
